Research Project SMARTHOMES
The Smarthomes project is aimed on monitoring and
remote control of building services. The measured
data are processing and sending via Internet
wires from a local gateway into central database
somewhere in the world.

• There are stored measured values of
• Indoor climate air humidity and temperature
• Heating system surface contact temperature
• Gas concentration CO, CO2
• Energy consumption electricity, water, gas
• The energy supplier is able to affect supply of
  energy or from dispatching centre to read energy
  meter.
• An user of this system can watch the monitored
  rooms on your PC screen, mobile phone or on your
  handheld.

SUNtool
5. FP EU UK, France, Finnland, Greece,
Switzerland, Czech Republic

• Project SUNtool aims to develop an integrated
  resource flow model and complementary educational
  tool. This will enable community masterplanning
  professionals (architects, town planners, etc.)
  and specialist consultants.
